Cold occlusion See Occluded front.
Cold wave A rapid fall in temperature within 24 hours that often requires increased protection for agriculture, industry, commerce, and human activities.
Cold Occlusion
A frontal zone formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front and, being colder than the air ahead of the warm front, slides under the warm front, lifting it aloft. Compare with warm occlusion.

A cold occlusion results when the coldest air is behind the cold front and a warm occlusion results when the coldest air is ahead of the warm front.
Compare with cold occlusion.Warm SectorA region of warm surface air between a cold front and a warm front.
There are three basic types of occluded front, determined by the relative coldness of the air behind the original cold front to the air ahead of the warm (or stationary) front. 1) A cold occlusion results when the coldest air is behind the cold ...
When the air is colder than the air ahead of it, the front is called a Cold Occlusion. When the air behind the front is milder than the air ahead of it, it is called a Warm Occlusion.
A cold occlusion results when the coldest air is behind the cold front. The cold front undercuts the warm front and, at the Earth's surface, coldest air replaces less-cold air.
Occluded Front - A composite of two fronts, formed as a cold front overtakes a warm or quasi-stationary front. A cold occlusion results when the coldest air is behind the cold front and a warm occlusion results when the coldest air is ahead of ...
A frontal system which forms when a cold front overtakes a warm front. When the air behind the front is cooler than the air ahead, it is called a cold occlusion, when the air ahead is milder, it is a warm occlusion.
Offshore ...
If a cold front rides up and over a warm front, it is a WARM OCCLUSION. If a cold front slides under the warm front, it is a COLD OCCLUSION.
